Like it , but not user friendly

It is difficult to operate the car and get the App to say « Start « at the same time. I’m still optimistic that it will work.

Response from developer

I have changed the ready state message. Thank you for your advice. --- After the message “Start at your timing / Ready" Is displayed at the center of the app, please start your car at your own timing.

Works very well!

Thanks! This is the best performance tester I’ve ever used.

Thank you very much!

And ... STILL Does NOT Work!

In response to the developers, second message… If that's how you get it to work without paying, it should make that more clear in the app but as I've already paid the $4.99 I can't test that part anymore.

What I can tell you is that the app STILL does not work and never switches from " waiting for stop" to "ready, go" on my United States version iPhone 14 pro running the latest iOS version. It shows my speed correctly when I'm moving and then when I stop it shows 0mph and then if you tap the start button, it goes from showing 0mph to "waiting for stop" and then it never does anything else. Maybe it works on some other versions of iPhones, or some other versions of iOS or on some versions of phones in other countries. But on my United States, iPhone 14 Pro, it never says "ready to go", you can sit there for as long as you want, and it'll simply keep saying "waiting for stop" even though I'm already stopped. I really wanted to work, maybe you could look into it, maybe there's something in the coding between different versions of the phone or different countries but on my phone here in the United States it absolutely does not work. I know the GPS works because it shows my speed correctly when I'm moving and it shows me as 0mph when I stop. But as I said, when I hit the start button changes to "waiting for stop" and then it never does anything else.

The developer wrote back in response to my first review and claimed that the app can measure some things without a payment, that is totally wrong: The moment you press the "start" button it immediately tells you that you must buy something. I even tried deleting and reinstalling it and after the reinstall, but prior to using the "restore purchase" It still tells you the same thing which is that you must pay a fee before you can do anything. Tomorrow I just tested this. Secondly, the developer said that when the car stops in the GPS shows 0 mph that the message will change from "waiting for stop" to "ready to go", this is also not correct. I can be sitting at an absolute complete stop and it will continue to say "waiting for stop" even though it shows my speed is 0mph and I am not moving at all. Maybe it's only on the iPhone 14 Pro, but this app still does not work and I stand by my first review, everything I said was accurate, the app is absolutely worthless until they fix the problem. IPhone 14 Pro: The app sounds like it's free, but it doesn't work at all until you pay in the app. Then, even if you do pay when you tell it to start the app displays "0mph / WAITING FOR STOP" when I am stopped. This is also on a bright sunny perfectly clear day was not a cloud in the sky, and a full five bars of cellular signal and full strength GPS signal. I don't know what the app is waiting for, but I am stopped. Even tried it in my house and sit the phone on a desktop and told her to start in it sits there forever with the same message "waiting for stop". So after paying in the app, it absolutely does not work or do anything at all except sit there is waiting for stop message when I am stopped. So it's totally Worthless!

Response from developer

The latest version 1.11.0 will work perfectly. Thank you very much for the feedback again. I have revised the answer. The app can measure 0-40mph or 0-60km/h or low without payment. After tapping Start button, “Function expansion” dialog appears, and tap “Cancel” button to start measurement without payment. If the GPS signal is weak, the operation may become unstable. When the car stops and “GPS 0mph” or “GPS 0km/h” is displayed at the left side of “CarTest” on the screen, the message” changes from Waiting for Stop" to “Ready Go!”. If the iPhone’s GPS function is working properly and the car is not moving, the speedometer will show “GPS 0mph” or “GPS 0km/h”. ----- Thank you very much for the feedback.

Disappointing

The update lag on the speedometer function is so bad that the acceleration timer is almost useless on anything faster than a London bus with a flat tire.

Response from developer

Thank you very much for the comment. The app can measure the acceleration performance of all cars and motorcycles, including super sports cars and racing cars.
